After Stations of the Cross on the first Thursday in Lent there was an informal gathering at the parish of St Catherine Labouré in Leyland, Lancashire of members from the Northwest of England and with the presence of the Grand Secretary. After a light supper there was enthusiastic discussion of how we might together and individually raise some extra funds for the many good causes that the Order supports, most especially Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice and our international project of providing the basic resource of water for those who suffer so much from its lack in so many places in the world. The suggestions of how we might get together and raise the profile of what we do were many and varied, to say the least, and we agreed to some definite projects that we hope wil bear fruit in due course. May God bless those endevours with fruitfulness.
